Description: Alzar the Alien has come to planet earth in search of stories. There's just one problem: he keeps changing the words! Sneaky Alzar has replaced some important words with his own alien language. It's up to you to change them back! In each of the following stories, Alzar the Alien has replaced one vocabulary word with a nonsense, "alien" word. After reading each paragraph, use context clues to determine the meaning of the underlined alien word. Students will then be asked to determine what part of speech the alien word is (noun, verb, adjective). In addition, there is an inferencing question for each story. A field of choices are provided. This is a great way to really focus on using context clues! IN THIS ACTIVITY, STUDENTS WILL TARGET: *inferencing *reading comprehension *using context clues *vocabulary development *grammar
